Cider Press Clogs (*meow item)

Familiar Fit Cardigan 

 Via Spiga Harrison Wedge Booties

Ummmmm...okay??? So I've been totally lost in translation.  I got married, went on a mini-moon, and started a new job.  I am ashamed that I de-prioritized my blog (insert sad face) :(

But don't let that statement fool you.....sarahquitecontrary.blogspot haunts me in dreams.....(insert dream sequence here)"Could be better!  More posts!!! Still more posts!! Awwwh shEEEEt why didn't I bring my camera for this outfit?!?!?"

........................................................(dial tone)

Thats enough venting...on to my FW Checklist.  So blog world, we are running out of time to get our FW checklist, in check!  I have been working on mine since August and have some new additions to the team line-up!! Including an item that was not on the initial list.....meow!

  3rd, 4th, and 5th on the list.....over-sized woolly cardy ✓, the most gratifying suede wedge booties ✓and yet another pair of clog booties (not quite sweedish hasbeens--as I don't quite have sweedish hasbeens $$$) ✓.  So I feel as though I am more than half way on the checklist....not to mention I am realizing that shoes and coats/cardi's might be my frequent purchase.

Bubblegum Pinkchromatic

Can you imagine??—-a 3hrs stale piece of bubblegum in my mouth inspired this look! This bubblegum pink vest has to be one of my most favorite pieces in my closet. I had to order it online about 6 months ago because the store didn’t carry an XS! It goes with everything! Overall I am pretty proud of this outfit, because I think it sums up my overall style in one look. Bright colors, comfort and height….that’s me all day!

FW Checklist ✓✓

As I mentioned in a past post (FW Checklist) mid August seems to be the mark for Fall-Winter fashion prep.  Its like the Fall Harvest, of potatoes, gourds and pumpkins is being picked via blogs, magazines and store windows.  SOoooo I am continuing the addition of my Fall Harvest via my blog and closet:) 

Second item to check off......the Trooper Jacket from Aritzia (www.aritzia.com).  Let me just say I LOVE-LOVE Aritzia!! Being originally from Canada (as it is a Canadian brand) and being able to purchase it over here (San Francisco) slightly cured my homesick feeling that seems to creep up on me every now and then.  It felt like the Trooper was the necessary RE-up on my current line-up of army jackets.  The army jacket has been a long standing Fall necessity in the SQC closet.  The perfect jacket for Fall's unpredictable temperatures.  I loved the fact that this jacket had a hood (for rainy days), was intentionally over-sized (for bulky sweaters on cooler days) and the length--slightly longer than the standard army jacket (perfect for long flowy -residual Summer dresses).  I ended up getting an XS and it fits amazing.
